Graduation

It was, unquestionably, the longest commencement ceremony I've ever attended. Fortunately it was mine, and I knew each single one that walked throughout the stage. In any other case I might have certainly died of boredom.
An image of the varsity pin. Proper now my pin is sitting in a small field on my shelf, ready for it is place upon my uniform. And I occur to know what colour uniform it will likely be! Teal! I've secured a job working in a CCU at an area hospital. (CCU principally handles the recent bypass sufferers, however in addition they catch another acute complicated circumstances.) I do not begin till September 4th, so I have been spending the previous few weeks packing my little sister off to her first yr of school, giving my room a long-needed junkpurge, and learning for NCLEX.

However what to say about commencement?

The sheer size of the ceremony, the variety of audio system, the photographs, the songs... all of these items gave me an actual sense of closure on my undergraduate training. I assumed "It is actually, lastly over. I did it." But it surely wasn't till we stated the nursing pledge that I felt an actual sense of satisfaction. After we walked throughout the stage, we did not return to our seats, however as a substitute went again into the choir loft (the ceremony was at giant native church constructing). They dimmed the lights and we handed fireplace from lamp to lamp. Then, when every part was glowing round us, some gentle music started to play. Certainly one of our instructors led us in recitation, and as we spoke into the wavering flames I might see all of my classmates' pins and eyes shining. It was really somewhat spooky, because it felt not solely solemn, however sacred. I feel I'll at all times maintain that second as a really particular reminiscence. One thing to consolation me in troublesome hours.

There have been so many events afterward.


I used to be alleged to be on the Hurst Dwell Assessment right this moment with the remainder of my classmates, however as a result of cash is tight in the intervening time, I used to be ready until the final minute to enroll. After which what occurred? After weeks of open spots, it lastly stuffed up the day I wished to register. Dang. So now it appears to be like like my solely overview choice is Kaplan On-line. No extra dwell critiques are helpful for months and months and months! (Did any of you do Kaplan? On-line? I might vastly respect your suggestions on it earlier than I purchase it later this week.)

So, till I begin my job I'll proceed learning. I'll publish to let you know the way the NCLEX went, however I do not intend to write down about my job right here since it's considerably riskier. I'm unsure whether or not I'll maintain another nursing weblog after this one... I will must see whether or not it is potential or not. (Whereas I will little doubt have commentary on my life as an actual nurse, I concern HIPAA... and to a lesser extent, office politics).

I have been so grateful for the few readers who've stored up with me these final 2 years. I really feel like our dialog has been enjoyable, and you've got actually been an encouragement to me at instances. I hope I used to be equally encouraging to you. In case you are at school, cling in there. You will make it.

So, I am via! Not a nursing pupil! (Although that is not actually true, I've a lot to study for the remainder of my life.) Additionally, my aim is to start grad faculty inside 5 years. No, not as a to be a CRNA (Ew!) In all probability an NP.

I hope to point out you an image of my license in just a few months. Till then, thanks a lot for studying.
